An American Anthem: What's Behind Murdering Soldiers in Afghanistan, Racist Vigilante Killers in Florida and the Blind Arrogance of White Privilege on Stage
Weekly Program
Kathleen Barry (Professor Emerita/author); Carl Dix (Revolutionary Communist Party); Philip Casnoff & Tracey A. Leigh (Actors)
Barry on the assertion that Sgt. Bales, who slaughtered 17 people in Afghanistan, was a deranged soldier. Such sociopathic behavior is rooted in the training, mission and purpose of the US military. Dix digs into the system behind the murder of Trayvon Martin and what it's going to take to end this kind of thing once and for all. Casnoff and Leigh on playwright Andrew Dolan's, "The Many Mistresses of Martin Luther King," how it poses some of the hottest questions regarding race in America.
